It's been a very hot week, but today could get even hotter. Meteorologist LlarisaAbreu has more on the dangerous heat and our next chance at storms ⬇️
To add insult to injury, the Philadelphia region is also experiencing extremely high dew points. A dew point of 70 or above is really going to weigh you down and bump up the feels-like temperature significantly.
An elevated dew point triggers your level of comfort to go down and in turn increases the threat of heat-related illnesses or sickness. As mentioned in our last post, dangerously hot conditions are possible through at least Sun. Everyone is at risk from the dangers of extreme heat, but these groups are more vulnerable than most.
